From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

The role of endocrine factors in diagnostics of thyroid cancer by sonoelastography

open access: yesОпухоли головы и шеи, 2015
The role of real-time elastography or sonoelastography has been widely discussed recently. However, there are practically no publications which showed the influence of endocrine status in the process for improving of diagnostic value of this method; this

Detection of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma liver disease in cirrhotic patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Computer tomography (CT) scan and ultrasound scan (US) are the preferred methods for staging subdiaphragmatic non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL),1 but their sensitivity in detecting focal lesions in the liver may be reduced if fibrosis is present.
